Mounting the Vision
140/150
There are several methods for mounting the projector. Depending on your chosen
installation, one method may be more suitable than another.
Floor Mounting (Upright)In typical front and rear screen installations, the projector can be mounted to a secure and
level surface such as a table or cart. Carts are useful when moving a projector during a
presentation or from site to site. If possible, lock the wheels when it’s in position to prevent it
from being moved during a presentation.
Ceiling Mounting (Inverted)For fixed installations, and for those that want the projector out of sight or have a limited
space for projector and audience, you can invert the Vision 140/150 and suspend it from the
ceiling using a specially-designed ceiling mount fixture.
The projector can also be inverted and placed in an enclosure above and behind the viewing
area. Install four feet on the inside bottom surface of the enclosure on which the projector
can rest. A variety of materials can be used for this purpose (for example, rubber crutch tips
or turntable feet).
Adjusting the Projection
Angle
If the Vision 140/150 is ceiling-mounted and the screen is significantly lower than the
projector, you can tilt the projector at an angle by adjusting the ceiling mount.
The projector can be rotated (front-to-back) up to 360 degrees and mounted without it
affecting performance. However, to ensure optimal performance of the lamp, limit the
side-to-side tilt of the projector to ±15 degrees; see
Figure 3-8.
Figure 3-8. Mounting Angle Ranges (Front-to-Back and Side-to-Side)
For a floor (non-AutoScope) installation, turn the two adjustable feet on the bottom of the
projector to adjust the projection angle.
If you do either of these things, you may need to make keystone adjustments or vertically
shift the image using the on-screen display (OSD) controls, to compensate. For detailed
instructions, refer to
Using the On-Screen Menus on page 63.
Use only the Vidikron-approved ceiling mount kit (part number
956-0096-00 or equivalent) designed for your projector. Install the mount
kit according to the instructions provided with it.
